About

The organ works in this world premier recording are very representative of the multifaceted talent of the composer Carlo Mosso, a musician from Piemonte who may not be well-known but who is important for his authentic and consistent creativity.

In this recording, since the large new organ at the Academy of Music in Alessandria was available, it seemed right to play the organ in place of the harmonium.

Paul Hindemith composed three sonatas for organ, very different in style, between 1937 and 1940. This first sonata "Sonate I", very dramatic, is based on great sound contrasts, at times rather taken to the extreme, always suspended between the violent and the lyrical and it was probably inspired by the horrors of the great conflicts and the tragedies that were already beginning to mark the twentieth century.
